@Destiny2Team @A_dmg04 Gotta be worth a callout given its longevity as a franchise tool. Better yet, save it!

Had a swell time. Sent some postcards from Venus. #RenegadesPostcard SteveKent#0473

@RobertJenrick Wow. How do you think this makes you look, Bob? There's clearly a chasm between how you see yourself and how you're seen. I'm keen to help you develop the self-awareness to understand that. Reach out and I'll help.

Arshad Khatana has the most abhorrent and shocking views. So why has Rachel Reeves been “friends” with this fanatic for over a decade? Why, as Chancellor, is she going round his house for lunch?

@GwenneFarrell @goneers Parts of me are still shut down after 3 back to back bereavements in 2022. Not sure I even know which parts. I teared up reading your posts, something I welcome with open arms now because it's teaching me how to show up with all that love. ❤️

@goneers June 7th, 2024 my lil’ bro’ died in my arms. It took my life away. It took until last month for me to allow myself to focus on me. Back to running but on a beautiful day I am convinced it is him at my back showing me what the world can give me. Walk with the memories.

Today I took the first step towards reclaiming myself after the trauma of the last year. I got up off the couch and went for a walk. That may not sound like a big deal, but I’ve been a slug since my husband passed, and I haven’t really worked out since last summer, due to caring for him. So here’s to first steps, literally.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is not leadership. It's not even performance, because performance implies self-awareness. It's unhinged, untethered hubris. I haven't seen anything else from #Hegseth.

@anactualwalnut I spent weeks in the hospice with my Mum as all her strength finally left her. 4 months later Dad died suddenly and shockingly. Parts of me went with them, but I'm doing my best to let grief teach me new ways to live and love. Thank you so much for sharing a piece of your story.

I watched my dad give up on chemo, become a skeleton, become unable to move, refuse to go to the hospital despite all this so any time he was asleep I checked to make sure he was still breathing, eventually he went to the hospital, I stayed with him in triage, they took him into the ICU, I waited until 1am when they were done with him to be able to see him, I went home to sleep bc he was exhausted, came to see him the next day, but I only got about 15 total minutes with him because they kept taking him to do other stuff, I went home, got a call at 8am the next morning, when I arrived he was already in a coma and flatlined about 20 min later. I don’t really remember essentially the entire year after that. I was in a walking coma. Part of me died that day, too. But part of me also woke up. I’m kinder. I’m more emotional. I’m more grateful. And I’m much more sentimental. Part of me didn’t survive that day, but the parts that did love so much deeper.

@I_Am_Jakoby Thank you so much. Grateful for you being here.

@SteveErrey I appreciate you Your kindness feels good

Thats my dads suicide letter tattoo'd on my chest in reverse so I can read it in the mirror. He hung himself from a shower head like the one behind me. There was a time when I had to cover the mirrors in my bathroom because id see him in the reflection. If youre new to my page you might have seen people talking about how happy they are with how different my life is from just a year ago Feb 4th is the anniversary of my dad's suicide Feb 22nd is my sisters And Jan 1st was the day my mom died My only relationship ive had as an adult cheated and got pregnant then left me 2 weeks after my mom died, 2 weeks before my dads anniversary I tried to kill myself 8 months later Not something new to me I was NINE years old the first time I tried to kill myself Children shouldnt even be able to conceptualize that at that age I actually want to be alive, and this is the first time in my entire life that ive written that before Its not just that I want to be here for my cats so I stick around. There is part of me right now that just truly wants to be alive and ive never felt like this before

@ThePupOfWallSt You're so right. I lost both parents in the space of 5 months back in 2022, and for a while I was completely immobilised by grief. I think of them often. Tears still bubble up. I dream about hugging them. Grief teaches you new ways to live, the biggest is staying open to it.

I lost my dad 8 years ago. You think you’re prepared. You’re not. Now my mom is 87, and in the last year I’ve watched her decline in ways I never wanted to see. It’s a quiet kind of heartbreak. Not dramatic. Just real. Here’s the truth no one really tells you: When your mom and dad are gone, something fundamental shifts. The ceiling of your life disappears. The people who knew you before the world touched you... they’re not there anymore. And nothing feels the same after that. Absolutely nothing. So if you still have them, even if it’s complicated, even if it’s imperfect, value the time. Call them. Visit. Sit in the silence. Ask the questions you think you have time to ask later. Later is not guaranteed. One day you’ll wish for one more conversation. Don’t wait for that day to understand what you had.

@gothburz Homogenised content manufactured at the molecular level to appeal to everyone is a slow, cynical slide into joyless, meaningless living. All driven by handfuls of senior leaders pursuing ever more profit. They're a cancer.

I am a senior vice president at a $68.7 billion gaming company. Activision-Blizzard. We have a 30-year-old franchise. Warcraft. Millions of players. A subscription model that prints $15 a month per user. A cash shop on top of the subscription. Paid expansions on top of the cash shop. Our former creative director just told the press he wishes we hadn't called it "Warcraft." He said the name sounds intimidating. He helped create the name. We ran focus groups. The focus groups said the brand needed to be "more approachable." We asked the focus groups if they played the game. They did not. We took their advice anyway. Our VP told an interviewer we want players to experience "weddings, raids, and new adventures." She listed weddings first. Before raids. In a game called Warcraft. Nobody in the room flinched. She also said "No one thinks the same about Warhammer." She compared our franchise unfavorably to a competitor. On the record. As a defense of the franchise. The forums are on fire. Twenty-year veterans are writing goodbye posts. One thread is titled "Think I'm done with WoW." Another calls our pre-patch a "player purge." We called our GDKP raiders "delusional." We timed a cash shop bundle to launch during the Trading Post anniversary -- the one event where players earn free cosmetics. We offered 200 discounted items but kept the monthly currency cap at 1,000. The math doesn't work unless you open your wallet. The community noticed. We described their concerns as "feedback we're monitoring." We are always monitoring. We have never once changed course because of monitoring. The players say we're "Disneyfying" the game. Turning gritty into cute. War into weddings. Orcs into mascots. They're not wrong. The data says approachable properties have wider TAM. Total addressable market. That's the metric now. Not "subscribers who love the game." Not "community that built this franchise." TAM. TAM doesn't post on forums. TAM doesn't write goodbye letters. TAM doesn't have 20 years of muscle memory and lore knowledge and raid nights that turned into real friendships. TAM is a number in a slide deck that makes a board feel comfortable. We added player housing. Players have asked for it since 2004. We launched it in 2026. Twenty-two years. We described this as "listening to our community." We are very good at listening. Eventually. When the feature aligns with a monetization roadmap. Here is what I know and cannot say in a meeting: The name was never the problem. The name built this. The name survived server crashes and subscription drops and an activision merger and a harassment scandal and a $68.7 billion acquisition. The name is "Warcraft" and for 30 years nobody was confused about what it meant. The problem is not that new players find the name intimidating. The problem is that old players are starting to find us unrecognizable. And we don't have a focus group for that.

@jtworr No, it isn't. Your attempt to target them with hate, when their policy is public and abundantly clear, is inexcusable and repugnant. You people hate what this country stands for, and do not deserve the respect you seem to think you're owed.

The decision by a ‘debating and politics’ society at Bangor University to ban a Member of Parliament from speaking on its premises is a disgrace. In a crowded field, it’s the worst breach of the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act 2023 I have ever come across.

@ZiaYusufUK So you're proposing that education institutions only receive government funding if they declare their unequivocal loyalty? You really, really despise this country and its values, don't you?

Bangor University have banned Reform and called us “racist, transphobic and homophobic”. Bangor receives £30 million in state funding a year, much of which comes from Reform-voting taxpayers. I am sure they won’t mind losing every penny of that state funding under a Reform government. After all, they wouldn’t want a racist’s money would they?

@donmcgowan I'm staying far away from the daily news cycle, and I can't quite fathom the scale of what seems to be orchestrated machinery obsessed with bringing Starmer down. If the entire news media are messaging against him, where is that coming from?

The UK media were played yesterday. Starmer laid them out to dry and made them look ridiculous. From Sam Coates to Lewis Goodall, Laura K and Robert Peston, they were fished-in by the Labour comms team and left on the hook, wriggling in the sunshine. It has to be said, this was one of the smartest moves I've seen from the Labour PR team since they came to power. If you didn't hear/see — around lunchtime yesterday, Anas Sarwar, Labour's leader in Scotland 'let slip' to a journo at the Times — Geri Scott, that he was planning to hold a presser that would call for Keir Starmer to step down. This spread like political wildfire throughout the rank and file of establishment broadcasters and political editors, to the point that they were unable to contain their palpable excitement — they all took to the air waves to explain to us why Starmer was now a dead man walking. See some posts below for examples, but I'm going to pick on Lewis Goodall for a second. I was listening to LBC after the 'news' broke about Sarwar and Shelagh Fogarty brought in Lewis to discuss the bombshell breaking story. There was such a sense of excitement between the two presenters with Goodall speaking, at length, about how this would be the 'fatal blow' to the Prime Minister and could spark an avalanche of cabinet level resignations. Even at that point I felt slightly embarrassed at the desperation in their voices. Anyway, the press conference came and went — Sarwar was asked afterwards if he'd told the Prime Minister about his speech, to which he told us, “yes, we spoke this morning, and we strongly disagreed”. Oops! Have you spotted the fatal flaw in his plan yet? About an hour or so after the speech, tweets began to appear from the cabinet, Lammy first then Rayner, Darren Jones etc. etc. Even serial plotter [allegedly] Wes Streeting put forward his full throated support for Keir Starmer. It then became clear to me what had happened. Starmer and his team had realised that Anas Sarwar was about to throw him under the bus, but they manoeuvred it into a political master stroke. By holding his MPs back until after the presser, one by one they made Sarwar's treachery starker and starker. Each tweet that dropped reinforced Starmer's position and pushed the Scottish Labour leader further and further into the wilderness until he was left stranded on an ice floe that was floating away from shore, desperately pleading for help. By employing some patience and some serious political nous — the likes of which we have not seen to date — Starmer allowed the media to bay for his blood and then have to climb down. He made his adversary in Scotland look like a prized turnip. And … he shored up his own position at a meeting of the PLP last night. Now, I've been as critical of Starmer as plenty of people, but this … this was his shrewdest move, so far. As my old dad used to say: he's not as stupid as he's glaikit looking. A quick special mention has to go out to ITV's political editor, Robert Peston, who took to Twitter after the dust had settled to explain to us all why it was a bad thing that Starmer's team had rallied around him. 🤦‍♂️ Patience is key.

@SamCKx Masterfully written, and you absolutely hit the nail on the head. Sadly I think it will take a generation or two to see it change. Which is both infuriating and heartbreaking.

I honestly can’t hold this in anymore. Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are not aberrations. They are the same project, running in two countries, with the same backers, the same tactics, and the same end goal. Both wrap themselves in flags while looting the country they claim to love. Both posture as champions of “ordinary people” while serving billionaire interests. Both scream about morality, family values, and patriotism while embodying corruption, cruelty, and hypocrisy at a scale that would have ended any serious political career a generation ago. Trump has been found liable for sexual assault. He has a documented history of misogyny, racism, and outright contempt for the rule of law. He is repeatedly linked to Epstein’s circle, praised authoritarian strongmen, undermined democratic institutions, and treated public office like a personal cash machine. Farage plays the same game in a British accent. He gets a free pass despite his proximity to the same toxic networks, the same culture-war opportunism, the same pattern of scandal that would destroy anyone else. Reform isn’t a grassroots movement. It’s a fear-driven marketing operation, propped up by billionaire money, bot-amplified engagement, and relentless misinformation. Immigrants. Minorities. “Woke elites.” Trans people. The EU. The media. There’s always a target, always a threat, always someone to blame. Not because it’s true, but because fear is profitable. Fear keeps people angry, distracted, and voting against their own economic interests. And that’s the real point. While people argue about flags and pronouns, vast amounts of wealth continue to move upwards. Away from workers. Away from public services. Away from communities. Straight into the hands of donors, allies, family members, and friendly corporations. Deregulation. Tax cuts. Asset stripping. Corruption dressed up as populism. The most grotesque part is the hypocrisy. The people who claim to care about faith, family, freedom, and national pride are cheering for men who violate all of it openly. Lying, cheating, assaulting, scapegoating, enriching themselves, and laughing while they do it. This isn’t about left vs right anymore. It’s about whether we’re willing to admit what this actually is. A billionaire-funded con that feeds on fear, corrodes democracy, and treats ordinary people as expendable. If this is what you’re still defending, then stop pretending it’s about values. At least be honest about what you’re supporting.

@mattvanswol @schiz04renic Winston's a legend. Big hug.

@schiz04renic Get a dog and love him forever. This is Winston, he passed away from cancer this week. He saved me when I was at the darkest period of my life... Miss him so much.

During a very dark period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?

@personalhimbo @Ahvora_ Exactly. A "roadmap" was casually promised which started posing questions internally & highlighted the lack of strategy for the product/franchise. Their focus was 6-12 month tactics with a vacuum beyond that. Roadmap talk got them scrambling, but it needs solid strategy/thought.

@Ahvora_ they've had a handful of months since pete parsons' departure to course correct what was previously the next 1-2 years worth of destiny's timeline into something more sustainable. it doesn't help that the roadmap was mentioned undoubtedly before they started this process

Stating the obvious here, but Bungie’s downfall is because of their consistent lack of communication on extremely important topics like this. TWO WEEKS have gone by & it’s still complete radio silence. I know Marathon is their baby, but did they just lose their ability to speak?

Genuinely emotional when Stephen and Rachel were left, looked at each other and saw the tension leave them. Great partnership. #TheTraitors #Traitors

@EssexPR Your admiration of Trump and his corrupt administration, coupled with your incessant and increasingly unhinged attacks on the UK and British values tell a clear story. You are not a patriot, a friend, or to be trusted or respected. You occupy a different moral universe.

The American Administration is making Keir Starmer look more and more pathetic by the day. I’m actually starting to sort of feel for him, and that’s saying something. Trump is the master of 3D chess. The West will be more safe with American military in Greenland. FACT

Truly terrible advice. Really. The worst.

@aakashgupta The "entire self-help industry" is not the same thing as "productivity advice". There are pockets in both that rely on sweeping generalisations and lazy clichés dressed up as insight. These models, protocols, frameworks are too often like the latest diet fad - just marketing.

This will do 200M views because Dan exposed the one thing the entire self-help industry gets backwards. Most productivity advice operates on a willpower model. Set goals. Track habits. Grind through discomfort. The implicit assumption is that you know what you want and just need discipline to execute. Dan’s protocol flips this. The morning excavation phase forces you to discover that your stated goals and your actual goals are different. You say you want to quit your job. Your behavior says you want the safety of not looking like a failure. These aren’t alignment problems. They’re discovery problems. The real insight buried in this piece: change doesn’t come from discipline. It comes from disgust. The people who flip their identity fast aren’t more disciplined. They just reached a point where their current life became viscerally unbearable. Everything else follows. The video game framework at the end works because games solve the clarity problem. You always know what to do next. You always know what failure looks like. Real life feels paralyzing because neither is clear. Dan’s hierarchy of anti-vision, vision, yearly goal, monthly project, and daily levers creates the same structure. One caveat: this requires you to be in the right chapter. If you haven’t accumulated enough dissonance yet, the exercises won’t land. You’ll do them intellectually instead of emotionally. But for people who are already fed up and just need a framework to channel that energy, this is the protocol.
